Had my iSine LX’s about a week. Listening to mostly classical, jazz, and some rock. These have a nice, airiness to them as a semi-open should. Very smooth upper range and I find them most pleasurable on jazz and classical. This open design does not lend itself to a noisy environment or where you might bother others around you. If you need headphones for the road, look elsewhere.
Build seems fine and I found it very easy to get a fit and seal. There’s actually a short video on YouTube from Audeze that shows how to set these up.
I bought these to stream Tidal HiFi from my iPad and iPhone. I use the Cipher Lightning cable and EQing these to get the best sound is essential. They sound pretty unremarkable when listened to flat in this system, but sing when they’ve been EQ’d. Couldn’t care how they look cosmetically. Great audio isn’t a fashion show.
For the right application, these are quite excellent and at a great price.
